Latest Nvidia GeForce drivers support GTX 1080 TI, optimize ‘Ghost Recon Wildlands’

The one game that’s received Nvidia’s special attention in 378.78 is Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. That title joins Sniper Elite 4, For Honor, and Halo Wars 2 as the shipping games that have been optimized in driver release 378. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Conan Exiles early access, and the For Honor closed beta are the preview apps that are now Game Ready.
